    This is “threatens the uk” :

    “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”

      “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against what we say we believe to be military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”

      The important unsaid part needs to be in there. Whether an opponent actually puts military installations inside civilian locations or not (generally a bad move), this gives war criminals carte blanche to bomb whatever they feel like.

        Not sure it’s helpful to imagine words that were not said, but that still a warning not a threat.
